Weare pleased to discover from the report that the business of this year shows, as was the case last year, a marked lucrease, and has attalucd Its full average before thc war. Thc improved con? nections of the road, both seaward and landward, especially that by the completion or the Macon and Augusta Railroad, ure causes of congratula? tion: We are glad to be advised by the report that a proper site tor a location on the water has been Recured, and thal plans.are prepared which will secure this Important advantage at a moderate present outiay. and recommend that this work be pushed without delay.

Tliere was thc list. Ibe sins, if , ?tas at ali, were committed long ago. The sub cnpWous were thought to ht 'good Investments', < md, whether good or bad, they mus: be shown In , he balance sheet. The report of the president ? md directors coutalned ult the laiormatlou neccs- . iary to be given. The committee appointed for ? -.ext year would take fifteen days' time and vookl cost a great deal of money, but Its report vouid amount to nothing. There bad been too nuch fault-Hading'at'ail these meetings. The itookheldera were abuslug and reviling the man tgement, and doing their best to depreciate the ralue of their OWH property. What the roud , vante.i was conddence and repose. If the prc .entboard does not satisfy the stockholders, let a lew bofcrd t e put lp. But the stockholders should ihow their conBdeuce in whatever board 'they nay elect. He confessed that the committee had akens hopeful view of the position of the com ?say. This, was instilled by the report, and he , vas sure that if his committee had taken fifteen . lays Instead of one they could not have done , heir work mach better. , President Magrath explained that no other d' - , lositlon eould be niaae of the assets and the deot ueuy the oank than was made In tue report. , te money had b?en paid out, and the payment , inst be shown in the account*. If the bank had . o assets, that would not be the fault of the rall- t Dad board. T!w money pa>d for the bank was a ( ebt due by it to the road, and was therefore an ?net of tho road. He was reminded by what had een said by the first speaker, of an incident in , te public career of Governor Brown, of Georgia. ( ha? oalulal, s. nie y ear.- agu, charged that all the t auks Lu Georgia were insolvent, because their j Beets and their liabilities were balanced in their t ccounta; and his experience showed that where t ie amounts agreed so exactly, there mast.be ? smething wrong. This seemed to be the position r arprevious speaker, in his comments upon the f redits of the South Carolina Railroad Tor Invest- c isms, and for the debt dae lt by the bank. .- r The Hon. G. A. Treuholm explained that.no tber disposition could have been mud; of ;he r mount's ia question. The board had no author- ' y to wipe out the deb;da9 hythe bank. That (I ebt could be met at bnce by calling up an Instal? lent upon Ute road and bank shares. Tiilswas s ot authorized to be done. The company must rther .esevvei:s;dividends un ni the aeeumoia- 4 lons were cnontrh to counterbalance : he hank ebt, or it must go on paying dividends and treat be Bank debt as au asset of the road. If the 1 a&k deot were considered bad, and it was not a t ad debt, the property of the stockholders would f Oat them half a million 'lullars m ire-the loss ] rooJd be charged to property account. The board ' oald only treat the debt as an asset, yet they j tere blamed for doiug the only thing which they t oald properly do. Mr. Treahotm deemed the lo- ? ? cstment in thc Macon and Augusta Road a ( oou one, and that Ute Increased business rought by lt to thc South Carolina Railroad, , ronld far more than make up for any ? i088)ble loss upon that acooant. The bank ( Irecto-s had had the misfortune to lose all heir capital, and the South Carolina Railroad, as , heir endorser, had had to pay their debts. Ys; he road directors were blamed for this mlsfor- j one of the bank. By redeeming the circulation l if the bank, the road had saved itself from sf its 1 anumerabie; and the action o? the road directors ' tad been approved by the stockholders. He be leved that $6 a share would cover all the loss by 1 inprobable investments, and for the remainder 1 f the depreciation this administration was not espohslble. He had always thought lt a great sisfortune that the road had owned a bank, but ut year lt was determined that the bank mould 1 esume operations. How, then, could the road j llrectors do other than include the debt due by it i o the road amongst the credits of the road ? ( 1 The report and accompanying resolutions were \ hen unanimously adopted. Mr. Clarkson submitted the report of theoom olttee appointed to examiue the report of the iresldent aad directors of the Southwestern Rail oad Bank. The report explains the condition f the bank, thc small expense of keeping lt in peralion, and the great value of its charter i irlvlleges. In conclusion, the committee recoin send the adoption of the following resolutions : Resolved, That it is expedient that the Sou: h. reatern Railroad Bauk ?hall, as soon aspracrl able, resume its r>usiue>s as a bank under Its iharter, aud that the president and directors be astructed to devise some plan to accomplish this. ?esolped, That Lt la expedient that all thc de .osits of the road be made lu Its own bank. On motion of WVL. Ellis, Esq., the report and .esoiai ions were laid upon the table. Major E. W. Selbcls"offered the follow?ie reso utlon^ which was adopted::' Rtixo\?ea, That the Board of Directors of the south CaruUr.a Railroad Company take imme bate possession of the assets of the Southwestern Railroad Bank, and dispose of them as soon as >osslb|s; and;appropriate the proceeds ' to the iquldiljpnrof'the debt incurred by the road for die bunk; and that the bank be immediately :iosed:-; - The nominating committee, through Major Sei aels, submitted their report, recommending the aiectioQ of theTollowing" gentlemen as directors al the road for the ensuing year: J. P. Boyce Greenville. G. A. Trenholiu, Charleston. ?3. W. Wilhams, Charleston. Henry Gourdlu. Charltston. Ii. 0. DeSaussure, Charleston. A. Slmonds Charleston. B. W. Rice, Union. ri. H. DeLeon, Charleston. J. S. Globes, Charleston. F. J. Pclzec, Charleston. W. L. Elba, Macon. Wm. Wallace, Columbia. David"Gavin, colteton. Jua U. Cathcart, winnsboro'. B. M. Kennedy, Camden. I TUC comrrjf.tca also recommence! a reduc ' of salaries, especially lo tbs bureau ciepartme Mr. A. J. White moved ihat the report be celved as information. .v~ Mr. DeLeon moved to lay it on the table, withdrew the motion for purposes of debate. Mr. Treaholm a-ked ihe chairman of the .ci mlttee to inform the meeting whether it had b lntendod to make any distinction between president anti directors in thc nominations^ a whether the name ot W. J, Magrath, Esq., present president, had been omitted by an 01 siyht, or had been intentionally left ont. Major Scib :1s replied that the committee 1 simply made their nominations, and did not sire to indicate anything beyond that. Mr. Treu holm said he was Borrythnt any ten tclligent and respectable stockholders could found who would propose to displace the pres? executive officer of the road. To do sq would b great mistake. He (Mr. Treaholm) bad been a rector for many years, and had scrutinized 1 conduct of the president. He thought it wot be a great calamity If the road lost the services Mr. Magrath; nor was it just or generous to tempt to remove him in this way. The stockho ers bad the right to nominate and elect wh< they pleased; but it was d'.e to Mr. Magrath say that his services w-e of extreme va'. .1 that hi3 zeal and experience were very gre and that ia his loyalty and devotion to the intt esta of the company his conduct had been in proachabie. He desired that the sense of t meettug be taken upon the question, and won move that the.name or Mr. W. J. Magrath added to the list of nominees. Mr. DeLeon said it was surmising that an 4 tempt should be made to displace one who hi stTv d the road with singular flda.lty for twent five years. Mr. Magrath had been president f ten years, and no reason, nor the shadow of .on was given why he should now be removed.. As director or the road, he (Ur. DeLeon) demand* that if there were any charge t against Mr.'M grath they bc nude-known to the meeting. .,1 knew, and could "prove, that Mr. Magrath & sacriQced hlaown private m?aos for thc advunc mcnt of the company. To omit his name, toa tempt to matte- it impossible to re-elect him 1 president, ls a gross indignity. He was Ba?sfie that Mr. Magrath would be elected by. an ove whelming maJsrRy, bat was not willing thaJ.ti: commit ec's report should even appear up ju tl! minutes, lie seconded the resolution or M Tren?roirn. Mr. J. P. Boyce said tv.it during his term c crace as a director of the road he had had an oj portunfty of witnessing the valuable Bervices c president Magrath, and h-n cheerfully bore test m my to hts inestimable value. He did not bi Lleve that under any circumstances the compan could secure a pre-ldent in whose hands thel Interests would be more safe. He could cot bi lieve that the ommittee- intended to cast an alar, upon Mr. Magrath, bot he deeply regretle the nature of the report. Major Selbels said that it was preposterous t expect anomiaatmg committee to give reason why one was nom naced and another was col The commute waa not at all uuanimous, and flv or six votes were taken before a conclusi?n, iva reached. Ko insult or indignity was Intended t any gentleman who was omitted. He could no give any reason why the name of Mr. Magratl was left off, and the other members of the com mittee would not. He hoped that the repor would not be regarded as disrespectful-all .thej wanted was a change. * Mr. DeLeon said that the committee, In omll ting tko uame of Mr. Magrath from the list 0 directors, evidently desired to preclude his re election as president. It meant that the commit bee did not want Mr. Magrath as president, whlcl was a gross indignity. Mr. Treaholm said that the effect of the actioi of the committee, if sustained by the stockholders would be to exclude Mr. Magrath, bnt he wai confident that au almost unanimous vote wouR again elect Mr. Magrath to the position he hue so worthily Oded. He could conceive of no greatei asininity tc the company than the loss of th? services or Mr. Magrath. W. L. Ellis, Esq., sold he thanked the commu? ne for their nomination, bat he was not a can Udate. He was satisfied with the present man igetnenl and desired no change. He begged that he name of Mr. Magrath might be substituted or his own name. . Major Salbeis seconded the suggestion. Major Gavin said he was In the minority in the loiulnatiog committee, and no min had a higher mlnlouof the value or Mr. Magrath to the road han he hal. He noticed, however, that while ire.eding speakers admitted the right or the itockholders to nominate whom they pleased, ho committee were soundly abuse! ror exercla ng that right. Mr. W. A. Courtenay said that too much ira lonau'ce had been given to the nominations. The liseusslon should stop, and he would cali for the luestlon. Tho other motions having been withdrawn, the esolatlon offered by Mr. Tren hmm, that the name if W. J. Ma trath bo -added to the list or nomi lees, was adopted, with four dissentient voices. On motion ol Mr. A. J. White, the report, as .mended, was received as information. On motion, the convention took a recess until : P. M. \ ; EVESINO SESSION. The cou ven tion wasballed to order at 4 P. M. The chair announced .the following com ralfe e 0 examine and. report ?pan the next an anal re >ort^?."W. Selbels, J..P, t3othern,'<Wm. Lenny ,"0. A.

Major Selbels ottered thc following resolution, a-lue ii was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the directora of the South Caro, lina Railroad Bank be Instructed to close the nank and transfer the assets to the South Caron? ia Railroad Company, os provided for in the res? olution of ibis morning. On motion of Mr. DeLeon, thc present committee sn proxies and the managers or elections were reappointed for the next annual meeting. Mr. Selbels onbred the fallowing resolution, which was adopted: ' . . Eesoitxi, That the right of passing free over the road to and from Charleston, once In every oeriod of twelve montbs.be given to all the stock? holders, equally and un ihe following conditions, namely : That every stockholder, being the bona ldc owber in his er her own right of five shares or more, and having held the same on the 1st or January, J870, shall be entitled to the above privi? lege lor tue year 1371; pro oided, that it has not already been exercised under existing mles. Aud that herearter the said privilege shall at tach on the 1st of January to every five shares or more or stock then held, and which have been held bona Ode since the 1st ot January preceding. . Resolved, That the directors be and they are hereby instructed to carry the foregoing r?so? lu'lon Into effect under such regulations as to se? cure exact compliance with tts conditions. The meeting was then resolved into a commit tee ol the whole, A. J. White, Esq., in the chair. J. P. so thorn, Esq., offered the following resolu? tion, which was unanimously adopted: Resoltea, That the thanks or the stockholders are eminently due to our venerable chairman, the Hon. Alfred Huiier, rot.the able, dignified and int. partial manner in whioh he has presided over the deliberations or this convention. The chair appointed Messrs. J. P. Sothernj-W, A. Courtenay and J. A. Mosely a committee to wait npon the Hon. Alfred nuger. The commit? tee then rose, the Hon. Alfred Hnger resumed the chair, and the resolution just adopted was read by Mr. White. Mr. Huger said that he received the resolution with the deepest emotion-an emotion which lt was difficult to express. He had been a stock? holder in the Sooth Carolina Railroad from the very beginning of the work up to the present time. The destiny of the rood was as fixed as the ground over which its Une passes. This was the declaration of Mr. John C. Calhoun. Mr. Huger again thanked the meeting, and concluded his earnest and graceful remarks amid hearty ap? plause. On motion of Mr. DeLeon, the managers of elec? tions were instructed to report the result or the elections to the presidents of the road and bank, and to publish the same in the city papers.

Appier got down rrom his horse, and taking on* the bridle approached Binder to beat him with lt. The latter drew a pistol, and rrom his seat on the cart struck his antagonist over the head with the weapon as he approached. A deep cut,at first thought dangerous, was Inflicted, bat being brought to the city the yoong man ls now doing weil. The matter has got into the hands of the law, and will probably be settled tn this manner. _* Asm,BY FIRE COMPANY. - At the annual meeting or tho Ashley Fire Company, held on the nth instant, the following officers were elected to serve lor the ensuing year: T.

Thc colored youth 'who made his exit from jail last week, with the mysterious character known as Grimes, was-captnred yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, by O in ce : 3 Lovett and Johnson, on one of:the numerous rafts at the foot or Lynch street. He states that on the evening of their escape rrom (alt, he and Grime* were seated in the office con? versing, when the latter proposed an escape. Wiillaui3 said he did not care about it, as he had fr?quent opportunities, and leaving Grimes, he went into the jail. Returning to the office in a few minutes, he found Grimes gone, and the snialiside-door open. Unable to resist the invita? tion of the open door, he walked out, and was picked* up as above stated. He waa taken back to his old quarters, aud placed in a position where be will not experience an lu vu ut.on to leave, so pressing as the last, In a hurry. CLOBS AMD STARS.-Dafney Alexander,.an old and persistent offender, having been arrested on Tuesday afternoon for being drank and disor ly on East Bay, near Hasel street, was sentenced to pay a fine of f 5, or go to the House of Correc? tion for thirty days. Not being possessed or the necessary funds, she went. A white man, who in addition to being drunk became very disorderly In State street and insist? ed on lighting somebody, was locked up and sen? tenced to pay a fine of J6, or spend twenty days In the House of Correction. Thinking his liberty cheap at twenty-five cents a day, he paid up and left. Cane Green, a colored boy, was lodged in the Guardhouse yesterday morning for safekeeping, supposed to be Insane. Hie case was rererred to thc city registrar. Three drank and disorderlies were locked up, and after a hearing before the Mayor, were dis. charged without a fine. SENATORIAL ELECTION.-The election of a State senator to fill the place ont of which the Reform candidate, E. Bates, Esq., has been choused, takes place to-day, and makes less sen? sation and creates less excitement in the city than a new circu?". In trathi the only evidence of the fact is to be found in the papers, and one or two tin boxes being toted aboot the streets in .the hands of several sable managers. An eu tho .elastic trio mounted in a cart with drum and life railed to attract the usual crowd of accompany? ing gamins, and an apathetic quiet pervades all quarters except the Immediate vicinity or the can? didates. It ls generally understood that the Re? publicans will stand by the nominee or the late convention, a E. Gaillard, and Daddy Cain seems to have np-hlll work. Gaillard ls as black os darkles usually get to be, and ls a man of limited education, "owing to the circumstances or his early lire." Be is a native or this city, where he was.born In 1839, and ls a millwright bj, trade. Since the war he has been engaged in teacidcg Behool, and as engrossing clerk of the General Assembly, which latter position he etui heids. j HELD FOR TRIAL.-Oscar Rivers waa ex aTniuvd berow TrIal Justice Mackey yesterday afternoon ott lae Charge of beating Isaiah Gard? ner with a green hoop pole. The charges were apparently made ba good foundation, and the prisoner was bound over for trial to-day. ILVITED STATES COURT.-The District Court was opened at lo o'clock yesterday morning, hii Honor Judge Bryan presiding. The case of the Beaufort commissioners" was taken up, and the Hon. D. T. Corbin made the closing argument Tor the prosecution. Thia' occu? pied the court the entire day. and at 3 o'clock lt adjourned until io o'clock this morning. The Judge delivers his.charge'to the jury this morning. A CHEERING SION.-We have been reliably informed that the city fathers have determined to widen Gnlgnard street to the width of Hayne street, giving a broad thoroughfare from Meeting to East Bay street, and also to extend Washing? ton street to the new Customhouse. This. Im? provement will enhance the value of property lo? cated on East Bay reith of Market street, and at no distant day we may expect to see the business centre of Charleston in ^thls vicinity. In our ad? vertising columns to-day Messrs. Lowndes & Grlmb?ll offer to capitalists a rare opportunity for investment in that locality. TO THE VOTEES OF CHARLESTON \ COUNTY. Having been earnestly requested by a num? ber o? Influential citizens to rua as an indepen? den t candidate for the State senatorshlp, ire spectrally place myself before the public In that capacity. My views may be stated In a Tew words: lam in favor of exact Justice to all men, and hostile to everything that retards the prosperity of thia Im? portant county and the State at large, or ls Inimi? cal to the welfare of the whole people. I shall, If successful, labor for the good of all. Irrespective of party or cla?s; and, although a Republican, I' shall feel it my duly to oppose all legislation of a simply partisan character. v With this simple expression of my principles, I offer myself as a candidate for the senatorshlp of Charleston County. R. H. WILLOUOHBY. A CARD. The undersigned beg leave to extend to the ' Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and.| the citizens of Charleston their grateful thanks for the many valued tokens of appreciation and kindness received at their hands.

They will, to their dying day, bold the memory of Charles tonlans embalmed In their hearts, and transmit lt os a precious legacy to their children. On the eve or leaving port, they bid one and all iv ho have sympathized with them a fervent farewell. And with this farewell, they Invoke the benediction of , Heaven upon the brave and beautiful of the "City by tho Sea." J o ax M. Dexes, ART. Captain of Steamer Cuba. M. P.
